    Have you ever seen the consequences of destroying the eggs of a bald eagle?

    I'm pro choice, but women should make the right choice.

    It's misleading to use this continency because it isn't even 1% of abortions.

    People mostly use it as a form of birth control why not birth control?

    Why try to argue with words I have never written? My side isn't trying to ban plan B. If there are folks who are out there trying, that seems more an individual campaign than not. Your assertion about my believing a child should be held responsible is inaccurate. I suggest you turn your fascination inward to your own party who seem hell bent on making it illegal for this kind of rape to happen in the first place. And, clapping because the victimized child then also has to engage in having an abortion because you offer it as a solace for them.

    Edit. Democrats are attempting to make the sexual abuse of children legal, not illegal as was initially posted. Perhaps my own abhorrence of their policies made me involuntarily express the illegality of such a vile practice.

    Most of the states where it’s legal to have sex with children (16) are red states.

    I am not a republican, I don’t support insurrection.

    And saying rulings in courts that immediately stayed their rulings so that it could be appealed is an insurrection is a laughable claim, even from someone like yourself.

    More women’s likely wouldn’t consider abortion if they didn’t have the huge financial punishment afterwards — a single mother raising a child and affording daycare was once a difficult task but now it’s next to impossible.

    You supported an illegal means to erase the votes of millions of opposition voters in an effort to prevent a peaceful transfer of power to a candidate you oppose.

    Temporarily stayed the decisions; they were not indefinite. Their votes would have been erased before they could vote for their preferred candidate. It required people to spend time and money challenging them and all of their appeals, through all the state courts, and all the way to the Supreme Court, in order to have their votes cast for the leading candidate to run the Executive Branch of our government, the person you didn't want them to be able to vote for via an effort akin to that of a third-world dictatorship. The liberal justices on the Supreme Court said your position and support was a threat to our democracy... a greater threat than Putin has ever had on our elections. Congratulations on becoming what you despise.

    And late term abortions only make up a small percentage yet that is the largest item targeted by conservatives.

    I think it is beyond deplorable to even consider making a rape victim have their rape baby against their will.

    I didn’t but ok — I actually said numerous times the USSC will strike this down and it wasn’t a good thing, mostly because it would be weaponized if allowed. But good try.

    It took one appeal and it was a constitutional question.

    Your hatred of our legal system is noted however.

    What you thought they would do does not suggest what you wanted them to do. You don't get to deflect and think I won't notice.

    Pffft.
    Here you are admitting that the stay would be lifted if the appeals couldn't be processed in time. And then you mocked the court that you supposedly don't "hate" by called them "stacked" and claiming they'd be "forced... to destroy precedent." When we all know the true precedent is that these Section 3 cases were against precedent. Recent SCOTUS decisions clearly stated S3 does not pertain to the President and there's no case in the history of our nation where it ever did. I'm sorry the law and precedent prevailed, and the rulings were overturned in time to prevent the insurrection. I know some people are struggling with prior statements and positions on this issue. All these prior false statements in support of an insurrection have been causing a ton of cognitive dissonance on this forum. Which is probably why there was so much talk about sexual assault and abortion in this thread.... anything to avoid talking about prior statements and the facts.

    ROFL!

    I don’t want him removed from the ballots (and he wasn’t), he should be free to run as he sees fit and let the people decide. If the people choose him then that’s what they should get, unlike in 2016 when the will of the people was ignored.

    Jesus the rant…

    You done?

    Since we aren't discussing age of consent laws, and there are plenty of states, like NY et al that have similar statutes, why try to dissemble from the legislation that is making sexual contact by adults towards children, not a crime? Can you justify those? Do you justify those?

    I love the additional words you added.

    I stated the will of the people was ignored.
    The people of this nation voted against trump in all three elections that he has been involved in to date.

    Wait are you saying we all vote in one big federal election and whoever gets the most votes wins? Are you saying the People select the President and not the States?

    The salient words you left out?

    The NATION does not vote or select the President the STATES do. You only vote in YOUR state for YOUR state's choice through the Electoral College. The only "will" you have in it is what your state legislature grants you. If your candidate lost in your state oh well better luck next time your "will" did not win.

    So you know there is no federal voting it is all within and unique to each State and that the States select the President.

    Strange, so why did trump think he had some role in those individual states and how they conduct their elections?
